Using MFCMAPI to find bad messages in Exchange 2007
MFCMAPI
Yesterday I had a major Exchange 2007 outage on a server that I will speak more about later but I found a neat tool yesterday to give you some insight into what is going on with messages in your queue. Believe it or not, but sometimes a bad message or a bad meeting request can cause your Mail Submission or Transport Service to take a major headache and slow processing down to a crawl. In order to properly diagnose what is going on you can always use the Queue Manager to see messages that you can suspend processing, but unfortunately you cannot delete an individual message or request this way. Using MFCMAPI you can actually use a MAPI connection to Exchange and find and delete offending messages that you think may have been the problem. It is a handy tool to keep in your toolbox as you make your way through Exchange issues.
